Upcycle Tableware Into Stylish Wall Art

If you have a stash of old cutlery gathering dust, give it a new lease of life with this gorgeous painting project. Simply douse cutlery in a matte spray paint finish, then arrange inside picture frames to create a snazzy, decorative wall feature. Upcycling ideas are so much fun!

You will need

Old cutlery, cleaned and dried

Spray paint

Ornate picture frames

Scraps of textured linen fabric

Scissors

Tape

Hot glue gun

To make

1. Spray-paint the cutlery in a well-ventilated area – the backs will need one coat and the fronts will need two or three.

2. Remove the glass and backing from the frames and set aside. Then, spray-paint the frames the same colour as the cutlery.

3. Cut the fabric a little wider and longer than the glass from the frames. Cover the glass with the fabric so it's taut and use tape on the back to hold it in place. Strong gaffer tape is perfect for this.

4. Once the frames are dry, replace the fabric-covered glass and backing. Arrange your cutlery where you want to display it and then use a hot glue gun to secure it firmly in place. Hang to display.

Top Tip: Ensure you cover the frames entirely with spray paint for an even finish.
